Who this is for

Overseas businesses owed money by a Chinese commercial counterparty, including unpaid invoices, agreed repayments and documented refund obligations.

What the service covers

The starting point is to identify the debtor, the basis and amount of the claimed debt, when payment was expected and any dispute raised. Available evidence and practical recovery factors inform the proposed approach.

The engagement may cover an initial recovery plan or specified follow-on stages such as a demand and negotiation. Each stage, its limits and the decision to proceed are agreed; the service name does not mean every possible recovery step is included.

What you receive

A case-specific plan identifying the evidence needed, the proposed initial action and points at which to review progress. Where follow-on action is commissioned, you receive the agreed correspondence or progress updates and an explanation of unresolved issues and further options.

What to prepare

Email a short account of who owes the money, the amount and currency, when it became due and any response to earlier requests. After initial checks, relevant documents may include contracts, invoices, delivery or acceptance records, account reconciliations, debt acknowledgements and correspondence.

What is not included

Recovery is not guaranteed. Litigation, arbitration, enforcement, insolvency work, asset investigations and third-party costs require separate agreement unless specifically included. No contingency-fee or no-win-no-fee arrangement is offered by this page.

How to start

Scope, stages, fees, reporting and timing are confirmed before engagement. Disclose any dispute over the underlying work or goods, prior settlement and urgent dates. Depending on the facts, a demand letter, negotiation or litigation assessment may be discussed as the next stage.

Please send a brief overview first, without confidential documents. Emailing does not by itself create a lawyer–client relationship.
